It must be kept in mind that it is very unfair (to put it mildly) to expect free (as in beer, if not speech) software to come with a warranty. One cannot expect a certificate of quality and terms of warranty for software developed by volunteers.
Also, most of the free software has been developed by their original authors to scratch their own itch. Its coincidental that the software suits fit for their purpose as well as ours.
